Install stabilizer onto axle bracket using
the original hardware, loosely at this
time. (FIG 6 for 87-95 & FIG 7 for 97-06)
Note: Be sure to install so the cylinder
body is mounted to the axle side as
shown. If mounted opposite way
damage can occur to new stabilizer.
Slide shaft end of stabilizer over stud
and secure with the 7/16” flat washer,
lock washer and nut using a 11/16”
socket. (see FIG 8) Tighten until lock
washer is compressed, bushings start to
collapse and expand in diameter so
there is pressure on it. Finally Torque
axle end hardware to 55ft lbs.
After installation be sure to cycle steer-
ing and check for adequate clearance.
In most cases it will be necessary to ro-
tate the stabilizer bracket on the tie rod
down slightly to allow for clearance.
Cycle steering again fully left to right
and check for proper clearance. After
the first 100 miles check all of the hard-
ware for proper torque and periodically
thereafter.
